Ethernet is becoming one of the most widely adopted methods of data transfer in interconnection. It\u2019s high bandwidth and long-established standards, makes for easy adaption into modern connected devices. Real-time communication in the Internet of Things requires high data rates and stable connections. Whether for industry, energy or infrastructure applications \u2013 Phoenix Contact&#8217;s standardized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/online\/portal\/za?1dmy&amp;urile=wcm:path:\/zaen\/web\/main\/products\/subcategory_pages\/Data_plug-in_connectors_P-20-02\/46053262-efc2-4f8c-a7d1-7d1e20ea1bab\">data connectors<\/a> are your smart solution for the future-proof networking of all communication interfaces.<\/p>\n<h4>Reliable Data Connections for Industrial Ethernet.<\/h4>\n<p>Data is everywhere and an integral part of today\u2019s control &amp; process industries. There is nothing new about the use of data in industrial applications, but increasing volumes and real-time demands present real challenges for system designs. Planning for future system requirements is therefore an important consideration. Building extra capacity into a system for future needs starts with the architecture and is reflected in the component parts. This is just a small selection of available connectors however, it does give a really good idea of what Phoenix Contact can offer. As you can imagine, when you scratch the surface you will see that while there are many similarities across industrial Ethernet connectors there are also some differences that makes some connectors more attractive than others. What are the options available for industrial Ethernet? Let\u2019s take a look at the most popular ones we see being used today.<\/p>\n<h5>RJ45 Connectors and their advantages:<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_za\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_za_0022745_en.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_za\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_za_0022745_en.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Assembly without special tools.<\/li>\n<li>One-piece design.<\/li>\n<li>360\u00b0 shielding.<\/li>\n<li>High shock and vibration resistance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>M12 Circular Connectors and their advantages:<\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/global\/web_content_1col_mobile\/pic_con1_a_0070996_int.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/global\/web_content_1col_mobile\/pic_con1_a_0070996_int.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Safe use in field, thanks to high degree of protection.<\/li>\n<li>Flexible: connectors for on-site assembly.<\/li>\n<li>Insulation displacement connection: innovative and time-saving assembly without stripping the single wire.<\/li>\n<li>Save time, thanks to installation with SPEEDCON fast locking system.<\/li>\n<li>Reliable signal transmission &#8211; 360\u00b0 shielding in environments with electromagnetic interference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><\/h5>\n<h5>Assembled Cables with RJ45 or M12 Connectors for networks:<\/h5>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/global\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_a_0047524_int.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/global\/web_content_1col\/pic_con1_a_0047524_int.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \/><\/a><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Customized cable lengths.<\/li>\n<li>Save time, thanks to installation with SPEEDCON fast locking system.<\/li>\n<li>Available Cat5 and CAT6a.<\/li>\n<li>Available with a various Ethernet connectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Should you want more information on these products, please feel free to contact Richard Schoonebeek on rschoonebeek@phoenixcontact.co.za.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_za\/web_content_graph_1col\/pic_con1_za_0022418_en.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact.com\/assets\/images_ed\/local_za\/web_content_graph_1col\/pic_con1_za_0022418_en.jpg\" width=\"220\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Written by Richard Schoonebeek) Anyone who says speed doesn\u2019t matter obviously hasn&#8217;t experienced the frustration of sitting for 20 minutes waiting for their devices to connect to the internet.
